Fantasy Football 2018: Buffalo Bills Preview

Knowledge is power and the greatest asset you can acquire in order to compete for a fantasy football championship.

Here's your 2018 preview of the Buffalo Bills, the 17th of 32 team profiles leading to draft season in mid-August:

2018 Fantasy MVP: Buffalo D/ST

An already solid unit from a year ago improved significantly through free agency and the draft with the additions of Star Lotulelei, Vontae Davis, Tremaine Edmunds and Harrison Phillips. There’s a good chance they won’t be drafted in most leagues, which is a mistake. They will likely force a lot of turnovers, and the upgrades to the defensive line will only help their pass rush. The ball-hawking, disciplined secondary is the cherry on top.

2018 Fantasy Rookie of the Year: Josh Allen, QB

Allen has been the most impressive quarterback of the trio competing for the starting gig, but the only place you’d draft him is the deepest dynasty leagues. I’m intrigued by new offensive coordinator Brian Daboll’s system, but I’m skeptical they have enough weapons for fantasy relevance.

2018 Fantasy Sleeper: Charles Clay, TE

Daboll’s scheme will heavily feature the tight end, meaning Clay should continue to receive a high amount of targets while Kelvin Benjamin draws the double-teams on the outside.

2018 Fantasy Bust: LeSean McCoy, RB

Truth be told, McCoy is the best player by far on this offense and if he stays healthy, he’ll receive plenty of opportunity to be a fantasy RB1. However, he’ll likely face stacked lines the entire season. He’s 30 years old — the proverbial cliff for running backs — and his potential legal issues are concerning.
